Step 3:

I spent a quick 4 hours at the TechShop http://www.techshop.ws playing around with different materials learning about them and the settings that are preferred. I decided I wanted to see what happened with fabric.

Step 1:

SInce the laser cutters at the TechShop are made by epilog I have been browsing their site http://www.epiloglaser.com and found a free design for fabric. It was to make a pillow, but I sized it smaller because it was just a test for learning.

<p>Try taking an opposite approach...... Most dark colors bleach when lasered..... I have had really good luck with denim (although that might not be soft enough) I think cotton works quite well. Might I suggest you check out: http://www.instructables.com/id/Laser-Etched-Denim-Jacket/</p>

<p>Oh I am really excited to try this one. Its one of the most interesting uses I've seen for a laser etcher</p>
